Since you had installed the MySQL stuff on another directory than the
default C:\mysql, you need to have either the \winnt\my.ini file or
c:\my.cnf file with the below section and keys:
[mysqld]
basedir=C:/Progra~1/MySQL
datadir=C:/Progra~1/MySQL/data # ?

At the command prompt should be:
mysqld-nt --standalone --console

The above means that the server has aborted for something wrong, for
example you don't have the configuration file above mentioned with
the basedir and datadir keys.
Anyway starting the server at the command prompt (see above) you
should see the error message. Try to fix them or send to the list
the messages error.

The above happens because the server wasn't started.
